Visa

Spain is a member state of the Schengen Area. Therefore, if you want to visit Barcelona, you need a Schengen tourist visa.

The Spain visa is arranged by the embassy/ consulate of Spain or a third party such as an external visa service provider. However only the Spanish immigration authorities are responsible of issuing the visa.

Take an appointment online, fill in the application form, print it and take it with the required documents to the embassy or visa service provider.

The visa fees are €60 and the processing time takes generally 15 days.

The Spain visa duration is 90 days extendable under specific conditions.

There is no guarantee of the visa approval even if you take all required documents and you have sufficient financial resources to cover your trip. Therefore don’t purchase any flight tickets until you get the visa.
